With a history devoid of war involvement since 1817, and a commitment to neutrality that has often left other nations astounded, this move marks a significant historical moment.

The Swiss, known for their conservatism in political expressions, showed they're not immune to Trump's polarizing politics, suggesting even the historically neutral Swiss are not standing quietly anymore.
